Tulsi Gabbard quits Trump administration

The director of national intelligence had been leading an investigation into US-funded biolabs in Ukraine

US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has announced her resignation, citing her husband’s recent diagnosis with a rare form of bone cancer. Her resignation came a week after she revealed she was investigating US-funded biolabs in Ukraine.

“Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026,” she wrote in a letter to the president that she shared on social media. “My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.”

Gabbard will be replaced by her current Deputy DNI, Aaron Lukas, Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social platform. "Tulsi has done an incredible job, and we will miss her," the president added.

A former Democrat, Gabbard left the party and denounced its leaders as “elitist warmongers” and anti-white racists in 2022. Gabbard endorsed Trump in 2024, claiming that only he could “walk us back from the brink of war.”

According to media reports and Washington rumors, Gabbard was sidelined by Trump and his closest officials – among them Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth – while plans were drawn up to abduct Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in January and attack Iran in February.

Before endorsing Trump, Gabbard was a vocal opponent of war with Iran, and a persistent critic of US military aid to Ukraine. The Russia-Ukraine conflict, she tweeted in 2022, “could have easily been avoided if Biden Admin/NATO had simply acknowledged Russia’s legitimate security concerns.”

Less than two weeks before news of her resignation broke, Gabbard told the New York Post that she was investigating more than 120 US-funded biological laboratories worldwide, more than 40 of them in Ukraine. Gabbard said that her team would determine whether these labs engaged in “dangerous gain-of-function research” – modifying viruses to make them deadlier or more transmissible

The Russian Defense Ministry has warned about the existence of these laboratories since early 2022, publishing documents that revealed the labs were working on “plague, anthrax, tularemia, cholera and other deadly diseases.”

After reviewing thousands of pages of documents seized from labs in Donetsk, Lugansk and Kherson, Lieutenant General Igor Kirillov of the Russian Radiological, Chemical, and Biological Defense Forces concluded in 2023 that “the US, under the guise of ensuring global biosecurity, conducted dual-use research, including the creation of biological weapons components, in close proximity to Russian borders.”

The existence of these laboratories was initially written off as a conspiracy theory by the US government, although then-US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland told lawmakers that “Ukraine has biological research facilities,” without admitting that they were funded and operated by the US.

Kirillov led Russia’s investigation into the labs until he was assassinated in 2024, allegedly by Ukrainian security services.

I am deeply grateful for the trust President Trump placed in me and for the opportunity to lead

@ODNIgov

for the last year and a half.

Unfortunately, I must submit my resignation, effective June 30, 2026. My husband, Abraham, has recently been diagnosed with an extremely rare form of bone cancer. He faces major challenges in the coming weeks and months. At this time, I must step away from public service to be by his side and fully support him through this battle.

US blindsides Taiwan with arms sales ‘pause’

The island said it was unaware of any changes to military sales after a senior US official said they had been put on hold

The Taiwanese government has said it was unaware of any “adjustments” to US arms sales after a senior US official said they had been put on hold over the attack on Iran and Washington’s effort to replenish domestic stockpiles.

Earlier this month, US President Donald Trump said arms deliveries to Taiwan were “a very good negotiating chip” to deal with China, appearing to contradict Washington’s decades-old policy that legally binds it to provide the island nation with weaponry. At the time, Taiwan tried to downplay Trump’s remarks, with President Lai Ching-te hailing the sales as “the most important deterrent” against a potential conflict in the region. Beijing has long condemned close US military cooperation with the island, regarding it as a violation of the One-China policy and as meddling in its internal affairs.

The “pause” in arms sales was confirmed by US Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao during a Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee hearing on Thursday. Asked about future sales to the island, Cao pointed at the US-Israeli attack on Iran and the need to make sure “we have everything” with the foreign arms sales set to “continue when the administration ⁠deems necessary.”

“It’s just right now we’re doing a pause in order to make sure we have the munitions we need for Epic Fury – which we have plenty,” he said.

The US-Israeli attack on Iran is believed to have put a heavy strain on Washington’s stockpiles of weapons. Despite repeated assurances by top US officials that the Pentagon still has all the munitions it needs should the conflict reignite, independent assessments suggest Washington has used alarmingly high volumes of expensive sophisticated weapons, including interceptor missiles and high-precision munitions.

The Pentagon has reportedly warned its European allies, including the UK, Poland, Lithuania, and Estonia, to expect long delays in weaponry deliveries. According to a recent report by the Financial Times, the delays will affect munitions for mobile rocket launchers, as well as anti-aircraft systems. At the time, the Pentagon said it has been “carefully evaluating new requests for equipment from partners as well as existing arms transfer cases to ensure alignment with operational needs.”

'Mission Impossible' Begins: Watch Live As Kevin Warsh Is Sworn In As 17th Fed Chair

Kevin Warsh, who’s promised the biggest shakeup in decades at the US central bank, is set to be sworn into office this morning at 1100ET in a White House ceremony as the 17th chair of the Federal Reserve.

Warsh takes over at a tense moment for the economy and the central bank. Inflation has reaccelerated, driven by the impact of war in the Middle East on energy supplies. The Fed, meanwhile, has been battered by President Donald Trump for not cutting interest rates quickly enough.

That backdrop of persistent inflation and political pressure has stoked concern among investors and analysts that the Fed’s independence is under threat. In his confirmation hearing for the job, Warsh repeatedly pledged to act independently even as he criticized the central bank for what he called mission creep and its response to the pandemic inflation surge.

Warsh faces the highest 10Y yield of any Fed Chair being sworn in since Greenspan and a market that is priced dramatically more hawkishly than The Fed's 'dots' expected…

For those watching closely, the first sign of new management will likely be visible in the Fed’s communication about monetary policy.

The June 17 press conference could give us a first taste.

Warsh has promised less forward guidance, data dependence and near-term forecasting, and more dissent.

This would be a structural break from the Bernanke-Yellen-Powell years.

Warsh's swearing-in ceremony is due to start at 1100ET…

US said to fire more interceptors to protect Israel in latest Iran war than Israel did

WaPo report says US fired 300 interceptors, including over half its THAADs, while Israel fired 190; US official says even more would be used if war resumes because Israel has sent some missile defense batteries for maintenance

The US reportedly used up more than half of its inventory of THAAD anti-missile interceptors while defending Israel from Iranian attacks during the recent war.

According to The Washington Post on Thursday, the United States used over 200 THAAD interceptors to shoot down missiles bound for Israel. It also launched more than 100 SM-3 and SM-6 interceptors to defend Israel, which itself used fewer than 100 Arrow interceptors and around 90 from the David Sling’s system, the report said, quoting Defense Department data.

Overall, the report said, the US “expended far more advanced interceptors to protect Israel than Israeli forces did.”

A US official told the newspaper that if fighting renews with Iran, the US will likely need to use even more interceptors defending Israel because Israel has sent some of its missile defense batteries for maintenance.

“Israel is not capable of fighting and winning wars on its own, but nobody actually knows this, because they never see the back end,” said a US official quoted in the report.

The Pentagon denied to The Washington Post that there is any issue of burden sharing with Israel, saying, “Ballistic missile interceptors are just one tool in a vast network of systems and capabilities.”

The Israeli Embassy in Washington said in response that “the US has no other partner with the military willingness, readiness, shared interests and capabilities of Israel.”

Israel has consistently denied claims that it is running low on interceptors, and last month, it approved plans to dramatically accelerate the production of Arrow interceptor missiles.

During the early days of the war, the US also insisted it had enough offensive and defensive munitions after a Post report said it may need to begin conserving interceptors.

Israel has a multi-layered air defense array, with a variety of systems intercepting threats at different altitudes.

The top tier consists of the anti-ballistic missile Arrow systems, with Arrow 2 operating both within the Earth’s atmosphere and in space, and Arrow 3 intercepting above the Earth’s atmosphere.

A single Arrow 3 missile has an estimated price of $2-3 million and takes a few months to produce, although the exact time frame has not been made public by Israel due to security concerns.

The joint US-Israel campaign against Iran, launched on February 28, aimed to degrade the Iranian regime’s military capabilities, distance threats posed by Iran — including its nuclear and ballistic missile programs — and “create the conditions” for the Iranian people to topple the regime, the military and other Israeli leaders have said. A fragile ceasefire came into effect on April 8.

Someone left the backdoor open? Who and why?

‘The Worst Leak That I’ve Witnessed’: U.S. Cybersecurity Agency Leaves Its Digital Keys Out in Public on GitHub

Passwords were stored as plain text in a public GitHub repository.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has been leaving the digital keys to its own cloud storage accounts sitting out in the open, in plain text form, for some unknown amount of time, according to a report from Krebs on Security. The problem finally got fixed over the weekend, the report says.

Surely the secret information was buried in some obscure folder with an inscrutable name, I hear you saying. The repository was reportedly named “Private-CISA.”

But there’s no way the contents were that sensitive, you object. But the contents included passwords, keys, and tokens—and the passwords were plain text in a .CSV file.

CISA gave a statement to Krebs, saying the following:

“Currently, there is no indication that any sensitive data was compromised as a result of this incident[…] While we hold our team members to the highest standards of integrity and operational awareness, we are working to ensure additional safeguards are implemented to prevent future occurrences.”

Since the repository was created in November of last year, the duration of the vulnerability seems to have been about six months—but it could have been much shorter depending on what information as added when.

To refresh your memory, CISA is a relatively new branch of the Department of Homeland Security that has had an overall rough time during Trump 2.0, even though, by signing it into law in 2018, Trump actually midwifed CISA into existence during Administration 1.0, and sorry about the tangent, but Trump’s speech to mark the occasion was an exceptional example of Trump poetry, including excerpts like this one:

“The cyber battlespace evolves — and it is evolving, and unfortunately, faster than a lot of people want to talk about. But battlespace it is. So as the cyber battlespace evolves, this new agency will ensure that we confront the full range of threats from nation-states, cyber criminals, and other malicious actors, of which there are many.”

Incontestably true, Mister President. Battlespace it is.

Anyway, Trump was enraged by information provided by CISA leadership during the period between the 2020 election and January 6, 2021 when he was on a mission to have the election results overturned in his favor. He fired the CISA director he appointed, and since taking office again, his CISA has been a chaotic farce. Neither of the acting directors he’s appointed so far have been confirmed by the Senate, and Trump has recently sought to drastically cut CISA’s funding.

Now, to add to CISA’s worries, it seems, according to one interpretation from the Krebs report on what was in the repository, an individual employee working for a government contractor called Nightwing was using Github to move material from a work device to a home device—sorta like emailing documents to yourself, but somehow even less secure than that.

I’m no expert on federal Cybersecurity, but this from Krebs sounds like stuff we as citizens don’t want our government leaking:

“One of the exposed files, titled ‘importantAWStokens,’ included the administrative credentials to three Amazon AWS GovCloud servers. Another file exposed in their public GitHub repository — ‘AWS-Workspace-Firefox-Passwords.csv’ — listed plaintext usernames and passwords for dozens of internal CISA systems. According to Caturegli, those system[s] included one called ‘LZ-DSO,’ which appears short for ‘Landing Zone DevSecOps,’ the agency’s secure code development environment.”

Kreb’s source about the information left out in the open was Guillaume Valadon of GitGuardian, a company that scans GitHub for secrets, meaning his business is finding situations like this one. Valadon told Krebs it was “the worst leak that I’ve witnessed in my career.”

Data centers raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees in Phoenix

Waste heat from data centers can boost air temperatures in downwind neighborhoods by as much as 4 degrees Fahrenheit, researchers at Arizona State University report in a new study conducted in the Phoenix metro area, the hottest in the U.S.

"As we do more measurements under different kinds of atmospheric conditions, I think we're going to see more significant impacts around data centers," said lead author David Sailor.

With hundreds of megawatts of data center capacity operating in many cities, and thousands more proposed, the combined impact on urban temperature could be substantial. U.S. data center capacity is projected to more than double by 2030. Sailor and co-authors said the overlooked heat hazard demands attention from city planners and industry developers. The researchers aim to help develop solutions that could significantly reduce downwind impacts.

The waste heat produced by a single data center can surpass the amount emitted by 40,000 households, according to Sailor. Air-cooled condenser arrays discharge air heated to 14 to 25 degrees F above the surrounding air temperature, creating thermal plumes that move downwind over neighboring areas.

"They're such a concentrated load of electricity consumption and hence heat emissions that we became concerned about the impact that they could have locally, and also in the downwind neighborhoods," said Sailor, a professor at Arizona State University and director of ASU's School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning.

Other researchers have tried to use remote sensing data from satellites to estimate the heat impact of data centers historically. The ASU study is the first to directly measure air temperatures downwind and upwind of data centers to record the real-time effects of waste heat on surrounding communities. Sailor and co-authors Soroush Samareh Abolhassani and Eli Martin are publishing their findings in the Journal of Engineering for Sustainable Buildings and Cities.

The researchers mounted data-logging high-accuracy and fast-response temperature sensors on cars that drove around Phoenix-area data centers and throughout nearby neighborhoods from June 18 to October 25, 2025. Using multiple cars allowed them to simultaneously measure temperatures upwind and the downwind of the four selected facilities ranging from a 36-megawatt single-building data center in Mesa to a 169-megawatt colocation campus in Chandler. The chosen centers reflect the typical design of "hyperscalers" that house many thousands of servers and use primarily air-based cooling systems.

Temperatures downwind of data centers averaged 1.3 to 1.6 degrees F warmer than upwind temperatures and reached as high as 4 degrees F above upwind temperatures. The heat impact was detectable up to a third of a mile, or about five city blocks, distant from the perimeter of datacenters.

"Even if these data centers only contribute to an additional heat island magnitude of one degree or two degrees, that can still have a very significant impact on our lives," Sailor said. That's especially true in places where extreme heat already poses serious public health risks.

A one-degree boost in air temperature, for example, is enough to drive higher use of air conditioning across entire neighborhoods. Those air conditioners, in turn, put even more heat into the surroundings.

Sailor and colleagues are planning a more extensive effort to collect data over a wider range of times and weather conditions. That data will allow them to develop an accurate atmospheric model to study the effects of measures to lessen the heat impact on downwind neighborhoods.

"Data centers are inherently an important part of our society, and they're going to become even more necessary going forward," Sailor said. Rather than just highlight adverse consequences, his goal is to collaborate with data center providers and other stakeholders to develop the knowledge needed to reduce the heat pollution problem.

Design modifications to facilities and cooling equipment informed by high-resolution microclimate modeling, for example, could lower the thermal footprint of a data center without compromising data center operations. Greenbelts or parks could buffer heat pollution. Cities could require such fixes in siting and permitting of data centers.

First hantavirus, now Ebola; What happened to the 323 vials of viruses that went missing from an Australian laboratory?

This month, a hantavirus “outbreak” and an Ebola “outbreak” have been reported.

The widely publicised hantavirus outbreak on the cruise ship MV Hondius was managed by the widely discredited World Health Organisation (“WHO”). And WHO has declared the Ebola “outbreak” as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (“PHEIC”).

This has reminded us of an article we published at the end of 2024 about virus samples that went missing from an Australian laboratory. So, we are republishing it below.

In 2021, 323 vials of virus samples went missing from a government-operated laboratory in Queensland, Australia. Two of the vials contained hantavirus.

Hantavirus is one of the viruses that causes illnesses referred to as viral haemorrhagic fevers (“VHFs”). Another virus that causes VHFs is the Ebolavirus.

Update: An investigation was carried out into the missing vials of viruses by the Queensland Ministry of Health, which determined they were likely destroyed rather than stolen or lost. According to a “fact check” blog by Snopes, “the agency said the samples were unlikely to have been lost or stolen, and were instead unaccounted for due to incomplete lab records, adding that the breach caused ‘no risk or harm’ to staff or the broader community.”

According to the Mirror, “questions have surfaced over [the missing vials] location following the deadly virus infecting passengers aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship.”

Interestingly, 323 missing vials of “live” virus did not attract the attention of an international response that required WHO’s management, but suspected cases of hantavirus on a cruise ship did.

Just as interesting is that missing vials of “live” virus posed no risk to the public at large, but a few suspected cases of “the deadly” hantavirus on a cruise ship, which is not transmitted between people, did.

323 vials of deadly viruses go missing from an Australian laboratory

This article is a reprint. It was originally published on 14 December 2024.

More than 300 virus samples of Hendra virus, Lyssavirus and Hantavirus have been reported missing from a government-operated laboratory in Queensland, Australia.

The missing samples were discovered in August 2023, but the incident is believed to have occurred earlier, possibly in 2021, when a freezer used to store them broke down. The lab leak is gaining publicity now due to the announcement of an official investigation being carried out.

98 of the 323 vials that went missing from an Australian laboratory in 2021 contained Hendra virus, two of the vials contained hantavirus and 223 vials contained samples of lyssavirus.

Hendra virus is a zoonotic disease reported to have a 75% fatality rate in horses and 57% in humans. Lyssavirus is a group of viruses that can cause rabies. Hantavirus is reported to be spread by rats with a 38% mortality rate.

Hantavirus is one of the viruses that causes illnesses referred to as Viral haemorrhagic fevers (“VHFs”). Four families of viruses cause VHFs: arenavirus, filoviruses, bunyaviruses and flaviviruses. VHFs include Ebola and Marburg, Lassa fever, yellow fever and hantavirus. Ebola and Marburg are filoviruses while hantaviruses are of the Bunyaviridae family.

It is not clear where the samples that are missing from the Australian laboratory might be or if they have already been destroyed, the Daily Mail reported.

Although it happened some time ago, the massive lab leak is gaining public attention now due to the announcement of an investigation into how the leak had occurred.

The Queensland government instructed Queensland Health to launch an investigation into how the samples could have been lost and how to ensure this does not happen again. On Monday, the Queensland government issued a statement quoting former Supreme Court Justice Martin Daubney, who is leading the investigation, as saying, “This investigation will also consider regulatory compliance and staff conduct.”

Trump Mobile exposes data of customers who ordered the T1 phone

Trump Mobile, the wireless carrier and smartphone brand tied to US President Donald Trump, is reportedly exposing sensitive customer information through an easily exploitable flaw on its website.

That is according to claims made by YouTubers Coffeezilla and penguinz0, both of whom said they were affected after ordering the company’s delayed T1 smartphone.

In separate videos, the creators said a researcher contacted them after discovering that Trump Mobile customer records could be accessed online, exposing personal data, including:

Full names

Mailing addresses

Email addresses

Order details

The researcher allegedly withheld technical specifics publicly because the vulnerability remained active at the time of disclosure.

Coffeezilla, whose real name is Stephen Findeisen and who is widely known for investigations into cryptocurrency scams and online fraud, said he personally verified the issue after the researcher provided portions of his own account data as proof. “Everything short of a credit card number is being leaked,” Coffeezilla stated in his video, adding that the flaw was “not complicated” to exploit.

Penguinz0, the online alias of creator Charles White Jr., corroborated the claims and said the researcher appeared focused on responsible disclosure rather than exploitation. According to both creators, attempts to notify Trump Mobile privately were unsuccessful, with repeated outreach efforts allegedly receiving no response.

Trump Mobile launched last year as a branded mobile carrier and smartphone initiative marketed around “American-made” messaging and conservative branding. The company’s flagship T1 smartphone, a gold-colored Android device, was initially advertised as being manufactured in the United States. However, subsequent reporting and reviews suggested the device may instead be a modified or rebranded handset sourced overseas.

The project has also faced criticism over repeated shipping delays, shifting marketing language, and questions surrounding preorder numbers. Both YouTubers said the exposed database records indicated significantly lower customer interest than previously reported. According to Coffeezilla, internal order identifiers suggested roughly 30,000 total orders associated with around 10,000 unique customers, far below earlier public estimates claiming nearly 600,000 reservations.

Neither creator independently verified the authenticity of historical preorder figures, and Trump Mobile has not publicly commented on the discrepancy.

At the time of publication, Trump Mobile had not issued a public statement addressing the alleged data exposure or confirming whether the vulnerability had been fixed.

Building Israel, delivering returns: Inside Keystone’s infrastructure strategy

From power plants and transportation to data centers, Keystone Infra is positioning itself as a gateway for investors seeking long-term exposure to Israel’s growing infrastructure economy

Amid the excitement surrounding tech and high-growth sectors, infrastructure is rarely considered one of the most potent investment plays. Yet, according to Navot Bar, CEO and co-founder of Keystone Infra, a publicly traded infrastructure investment company in Israel, and a member of the prestigious TA-90 index on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, it is a rapidly growing field that has produced excellent results.

“Keystone Infra is an infrastructure powerhouse for national infrastructure, based on public-private partnerships (PPP) between government entities and private companies to finance, build, and operate public infrastructure,” he explained. These types of partnerships, said Bar, provide very long-term, predictable cash flow with little or no volatility. One common form of such an agreement is the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), used for revenue-based infrastructure projects, such as toll roads, bridges, and power plants. The private company is awarded the concession to build and operate the facility, and collects user fees for a set number of years to recover its investment and make a profit.

Since its founding in 2019, Keystone Infra has expanded into several areas of vital national infrastructure in Israel, including transportation, energy, renewable energy, data centers, telecommunications, and water, in partnership with Israel’s national government. Said Bar, “Since it utilizes conventional technology, the operational risk is very low. The beauty of Keystone Infra Ltd. is that it’s publicly traded and offers an attractive risk-reward profile, with very low risk given its reliance on old-school, dependable technology. The reward is very attractive because there is certainty of a long-term cash flow.”

Historically, Bar pointed out, investment in national infrastructure projects in Israel, which run into the billions of shekels, was limited to large pension funds, insurance funds, and major infrastructure companies. “Keystone Infra is a new animal that came to the public market, and said that we are going to do everything with public money. Today, anyone can invest in Keystone Infra —one doesn’t need billions to gain exposure to these kinds of assets. By investing in Keystone Infra stock, one can gain access to a diversified portfolio across multiple sectors, all of which benefit from the same underlying strengths and characteristics. In many ways, Keystone Infra functions like an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that holds a basket of assets offering broad exposure to a diversified portfolio through a single investment.”

Keystone Infra , said Bar, has a unique, three-layer method. “What makes Keystone Infra Ltd. stand out,” he explained, “is that we are not focused only on buying and holding operating assets that already generate income — although we do have a very strong base of those assets. These projects produce stable cash flow, backed by long-term agreements with the government and other partners, which allows us to forecast revenue many years into the future. Today, Keystone Infra receives roughly NIS 300 million annually from its subsidiaries and infrastructure projects. The company is also supported by a robust capital structure, with a loan-to-value ratio of just 26% — a foundation that allows Keystone Infra Ltd. to pursue new acquisitions without an immediate capital raise.

“The second layer is that we actively work to improve every asset we own. There is not a single investment in our portfolio that we are not constantly trying to make more efficient and more profitable. Infrastructure assets that may seem fixed — such as power plants or transportation systems — can often generate additional value through smarter management and operational improvements. For example, we can sometimes increase profitability by changing our customer profile, selling electricity directly to private-sector clients rather than only to the government. In transportation projects, improving bus routes and efficiency can increase ridership and revenue. Over time, markets, regulations, and demand patterns evolve, and if one adapts to those changes effectively, one can continue extracting more value from existing assets.”

"Creative Destruction" is the term satanists use for destroying Christian Western civilization

https://henrymakow.com/the_destuctive_principle_of_th.html

Shawn Buckley–UNDRIP is the deliberate creative destruction of Canada.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wt4f_JJ12rA

"UNDRIP, as it's being implemented, isn't a reconciliation framework but a structural reset of how Canada governs land, law, and authority. By introducing overlapping jurisdictions, consent-based development rules, and legal ambiguity around ownership and resource use, it fundamentally reshapes the foundation the country was built on. Supporters call it justice; wise critics see it as a form of deliberate "creative destruction"–dismantling existing systems not to reform them, but to replace them entirely with something new, uncertain, and far less predictable for Canadians trying to build, invest, and live within it."

People Keep Falling For False Rumors About A Peace Deal, But The Truth Is That All-Out War Is Coming

It just keeps happening over and over again. False rumors about a peace deal between the United States and Iran start circulating, and a lot of people out there just keep falling for it. How many times is this going to play out? Look, the reality of the matter is that Iran is only going to make a deal if President Trump basically surrenders and gives the Iranians everything on their completely absurd wishlist. If that doesn’t happen, there simply isn’t going to be a deal. The Iranians and the Trump administration are not even in the same universe when it comes to the nuclear issues, and as I discussed in my last article, the fact that the Iranians intend to make the status quo in the Strait of Hormuz permanent is completely and utterly unacceptable to U.S. officials. Those that keep expecting some sort of a “breakthrough” are going to be disappointed every single time.

On Thursday, so many sources were reporting that a “final draft” of a peace agreement had been agreed to and that a formal announcement was imminent.

But it was completely fake news, and it was soon exposed as completely fake news.

The Iranians have not moved from their core negotiating positions and they aren’t going to move.

At this point, the Iranians are telling us that negotiations are in a “permanent deadlock” and that they have “no desire to even continue negotiations”…

President Trump is not going to move from his core negotiating positions either.

He believes that preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons is “more important than anything else”…

Trump said if the question was put to Americans, “they will all agree” Iran cannot get a nuclear weapon.

“This is the nuclearization of a country that some people would say is somewhat crazy, and we cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon, that’s all it is,” he said. “We can’t let it.”

“You will have a nuclear war in the Middle East, and that war will come here, that war will go to Europe,” Mr. Trump said. “We cannot let that happen, and it won’t happen. That’s more important than anything else.”

Who is going to make the drastic compromises that are necessary for a deal to be achieved?

The people that keep falling for the false rumors will never tell you that.

To the Iranians, accepting the terms that Trump is offering would be the equivalent of surrendering, and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is telling us that “martyrdom” would be preferable to that…

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stated, “We will not bow our heads, our ministers and experts are working day and night, without a single day off.” He added, per state sources: “We are willing to sacrifice as much as possible for the honor and pride of Iran, and we are not afraid of martyrdom.”

Pezeshkian is actually one of the “moderates” that we keep hearing about.

So just imagine how the hardcore “radicals” are feeling.

The Iranians do not believe that a peace deal will actually happen.

Instead, they are feverishly preparing for the next chapter of the war…

Iran has already restarted some of its drone production during the six-week ceasefire that began in early April, one sign it is rapidly rebuilding certain military capabilities degraded by US-Israeli strikes, according to two sources familiar with US intelligence assessments. Four sources told CNN that US intelligence indicates Iran’s military is reconstituting much faster than initially estimated.

The rebuilding of military capabilities, including replacing missile sites, launchers and production capacity for key weapons systems destroyed during the current conflict, means that Iran remains a significant threat to regional allies should President Donald Trump restart the bombing campaign, according to the four sources familiar with the intelligence. It also calls into question claims about the extent to which US-Israeli strikes have degraded Iran’s military in the long term.

David Icke– The agenda is for China & BRICS to defeat the USA. Trump's role is to discredit MAGA

"This is exactly what I have been saying the plan has been for decades - to move global power eastwards out of the US and the West to China and connected countries - including Iran. Trump was installed precisely so his narcissistic arrested development could be used to create the chaos necessary to bring down the old Cult order so the new one could come in.

This is why it was so ludicrous for 'star influencers' to sell Trump as bringing down the 'Globalists' when the 'Globalists' have controlled him all along. Now the same 'star influencers' have turned against him in an attempt to save their 'credibility' and we're still supposed to take them seriously."

Laura Loomer’s Thinly Veiled Threat

Let me interpret Loomer’s post: Big Brain Trump is ready to walk away from the war because there is no domestic support and it is hurting Congressional Republicans in the Midterm. Netanyahu said, “I got it. You need domestic support to kill Muslims and you need to silence the biggest voices of dissent. Consider it done. Do not end the war – just blame the other Muslims and we’ll take care of things.”

The Jewish state plans to launch a devastating false flag attack on civilians during the World Cup (June 11-15), and in the post-attack hysteria, those accused of “antisemitism” will be shut down and in the absence of informed debate, the war will intensify with popular support thanks to the “evil Muslim” reminder courtesy of the Jewish state.

·There is a monkey wrench thrown into the mix, open discussion of false flags by the public make it a much more dangerous thing to do. If Israel is publicly identified as the perpetrator it could change everything. False flags only work on credulous, unsuspecting populations. We are waking up to their methods and it will force new tactics, which they will screw up.
